Road Building Trend. 3 Key Elements of Reduced Conflict Intersections.

Minnesota is deploying Reduced Conflict Intersections to increase traffic safety.

Reduced Conflict Intersections are employed on multi-lane highway intersections and offer increased safety by:

• limiting turns to right from a smaller roadway onto a higher speed road
• allowing for u-turn at an opening in the median
• prohibiting left turns

The safety data for reduced conflict intersections shows:

• 100% reduction of fatal and serious injury right-angle crashes
• 77% fewer all severity right-angle crashes
• 50% reduction of injury crashes
